The Caveman's Valentine Page #7

Maybe you should slow down.

Why did you let Joey

have so much power over you?

You could have

called his bluff.

I mean, the police would have

known the tape was a fake.

He wouldn't have taken it

to the authorities.

He would have circulated it

at parties.

Success is fragile,

Mr. Ledbetter.

Do you know what it is

to have a muse?

I think I do.

Joey was nothing like him.

But sometimes,

if the light was just right,

I could almost believe.

I guess I'll have to

find another one.

Look at you.

Drunk as a skunk.

Oh, but I put a nick

in Stuyvesant's armor.

Stuyvesant?

Haven't you

figured it out yet, baby?

Don't you know

what killed Scotty Gates?

Not Stuyvesant, not

Stuyvesant's no-face slaves,

just craziness.

That's what makes

all these victims.

None of your fancy demons,

just plain ol',

run-of-the-mill craziness.

That's the only beast

you have to tame.

Rom.

I liked what you played,

up at the party.

Little raw, little rusty,

but it was good to hear.

You have a beautiful face.

In a strange turn of events,

police were aided by a homeless man,

Romulus Ledbetter, who resides in

a rocky enclosure in Inwood Park.

Ledbetter, known to locals

as "The Caveman, "

was instrumental in the capture

and arrest of Joseph Peasley,

who is suspected of murdering

Scott Gates.

Gates' body was found in the

same park on Valentine's Day.

A police spokesperson stated that

"The Caveman" is a local hero.

Daddy.

I wanted to warn you.

You know, you could

come home for awhile.

I mean, if you wanted to.

I don't think Mama would mind.

You know, just...

just for awhile.

Y- You know, Lulu,

I don't think so.

Maybe some other time.

Thanks just the same.

Daddy, I want you to know...

I am really...

I'm proud.

I'm proud of you.
